    Use Dry Silicone spray. When it is wet, it is super slippery. But when it dries out in 20 minutes it is like a super-glue.

    I have an issue where the AC is blowing cold and the AC light starts to blink so it begins to throw hot air. I just had my water pump replaced and don’t know if that has something to do with it because it was my AC was working just fine. Do you think they’re replacing my water pump has anything to do with the AC blowing out hot air?

    The drive shaft has to be removed by force. WSM says to use a specialty tool to attach to the driveshaft right near the diff and then use a slide hammer to pop the driveshaft out.

    Just found your video. I’ve got an 05 and found a video for the prior generation with the same problem and it required a new bushing and bearing. I haven’t taken mine apart yet but now you’ve got ME scared that I’m gonna strip it out. You think it’s possible to just come loose with 190,000 miles of normal wear and tear?

    Thanks for the video. Good points to check. In my experience of owning Ford pickups for many decades. A lot of them have issues with the front window seal on the driver side. I don't know what they do, passenger side rarely an issue. Once the windshields are removed and re-sealed, no more problems. Have had some electrical issues from the leaks under the dash too. One thing to keep an eye on, if you own one.

    Any suggestions on the o-rings? I’ve done this job 3 times in 6 weeks on my tundra because the o rings keep leaking. I put syl-glide on them every time. I’m about ready to cover them in the right stuff and call it good. That pipe may never come off again, but I don’t think it will leak anymore.

    So it won't start? It may have jumped timing and is too far off to start. I would start by running a compression test. If all cylinders are low then you will need to turn engine to top dead center and make sure all the marks line up. Have seen one spin the crankshaft gear throwing the timing off.

    Not sure on an Acadia but have done GM pressure switches before and they will have a schrader valve underneath. I would have the HVAC module scanned to see what codes are stored. The ambient air temp sensor or evap temp sensor could also have an intermittent problem.

  • @raincitywrench117
    @raincitywrench1174 күн бұрын

    The planet carrier thrust bearing goes in with the large flat side facing up toward the reduction hub based on the picture. But it doesn't specify which way and don't think it will make a difference if it's turned the other way. I ran into the same issue as the bearing fits in either way but went with the picture.

    I have this knock and have been to several mechanics who wont touch my truck. Toyota itself turned my truck around in like 6 hrs and said it needed a new engine for 14,000$ (never checked oil, never drove it, nothing) same sounds as this vid in the same exact place. Im willing to try this fix, but, id like to know what kind of damage this causes if left untreated (as i have) for a while. It began making this noise a few weeks after purchase and has gotten progressively worse. Its in a 2012 tundra in primo shape with some nice upgrades and i dont wanna give it up at 120k. I love this truck, it runs mint, but the tick is SO loud now its driving me crazy. Runs perfectly, never an error code, no smoke, clean oil, just KNOCKS all the time. Cant order at a drive thru, can hear it running from my backyard. only gripe with this truck at all. Also, while in there does it make sense to replace any parts other than the tensioner? Would it make sense while there to just swap all the wear parts? Chain, pulleys, etc? I dont wanna do twice.
